Whether you already own an ATV, or are considering getting into ATV riding, you are aware of just how expensive ATVs can be. (“ATV Made Easy”) Not only are the ATVs themselves expensive, but parts and maintenance can also be an expensive prospect. But do not worry, you can save money if you do some research and plan. You will still have to be prepared to spend a significant amount of money on the sport, but you can find fair prices on ATVs and parts if you do some shopping around.
Most ATV retailers, both local and online. run sales periodically. If you are in the market for a new ATV, figure out which one you want and then keep your eyes open for a good sale price on one. Unless you are lucky, you will have to wait for a while before you finally catch that sale. But with potential savings in the thousands, it can be worth the wait. (“ATV Made Easy”) Also, try and have an innovative idea what the normal price is for the model you want is. A sale that is not really a sale are common occurrences nowadays.
Once you have that baseline price established, all you must do is wait for the sale to happen. Most dealerships will run a sale once or twice a year, so if you can be patient, one will come around. (“ATV Made Easy”)
Once you have your ATV, you can expect to spend a fair amount of money replacing, adding, or upgrading parts. This can rapidly get expensive of you are paying full retail price for everything. Just like the ATV itself, parts and accessories will go on sale. Again, get an idea what they go for normally and look for deals based on that. (“ATV Made Easy”)
But what about emergency replacement parts? Well, in some cases, you can still get the parts on sale. (“ATV Made Easy”) If you know that you will need to replace a particular part, you can go ahead and buy it while it is one sale. Then, just hold onto it until it is needed. Regular maintenance supplies are prime candidates for this practice. (“ATV Made Easy”) But even some of the more commonly broken parts can be bought and stored in this fashion.
Most people, especially if they have a new ATV, never even consider buying used parts. But the savings can amount to hundreds of dollars depending on the parts bought used. Just because something is used or refurbished, does not automatically make it inferior. (“ATV Made Easy”) That used part could easily have been pulled from a brand-new but wrecked ATV. Check around the junkyards as well. Often, you can go look at the ATV the part is coming from beforehand and get an estimate of its age that way.
With a little bit of effort, research, and shopping around, you can save a lot of money. If you shop like this on a regular basis, the savings can easily add up into thousands of dollars saved over the lifetime of your ATV.
